Now, a week later, the national carrier has increased the fares by an additional Rs. 2,000. The ticket fare for Umrah pilgrims had increased from Rs. 85,500 to Rs. 88,500 after the previous hike. Now, the price of the ticket stands at Rs. 90,500.
According to PIA’s administration, the increase in fares is minor and a routine matter. It said that the flights are being specially operated for the Umrah pilgrims, so most of them will have to return without passengers. Therefore, raising the ticket price is necessary.
